Angelica archangelica, also known as garden angelica, Norwegian angelica, wild celery, and Archangel, is a biennial plant used for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The leaves and stalks have a liquorice-like flavor and can be used to sweeten tart fruits and in mixed salads, while the roots are harvested for medicinal use in the treatment of digestive disorders and circulatory problems. Angelica has a long history of use in Scandinavian culture, including its use in reindeer milk and as a shamanic medicine among the Saami people. Its essential oil is used in liqueurs, including Chartreuse, and in gin distillation. The plant is typically found growing wild in damp soil near rivers and water deposits in parts of northern Europe, while commercially available sources of angelica can be found in various countries, including France, Hungary, and Romania. However, it is important to note that its appearance is similar to several poisonous species, so it should not be consumed unless it has been identified with certainty.
